I guess you mean the Novotel. It is located by the GRA (a little more than 15 km from Piazza Barberini), so 30 Euro sounds right, considering the traffic. Hopefully the cabbie will not use Via Tiburtina, which last week was a disaster (2 hours to the Villa Adriana in the morning, 1 hour to get back from the Villa d'Este in the afternoon)

Is that where you chose to stay? At the Hotel Novotel Roma La Rustica?
Edited to add: I see while I was typing our Greek friend beat me to the punch!

Have you ever eaten at Ristorante Sibilla? That's been on my list for years, but I've yet to check it out.

Careful! The Tiburtina becomes a one-lane road shortly after the cemetery due to works. It may take very long to drive through there. Ask the cab driver to take either the Nomentana or the Tuscolana or the A24 (I hope I'm not wrong with the number).

Aside from the traffic, sounds like a great day.

Wonderful weather and, for the first of the 3-4 times I visited Villa d'Este, the water was on. Before that, the Villa Adriana (I'm just amazed every time I visit. And the next day Ostia Antica and then the port of Fiumicino at the time when the fishing boats were coming back. Unfortunately I no longer live in Italy, so I was left with just looking at them...

Re Villa Adriana, have you seen the digital recreations? They're pretty cool:

To avoid traffic/save time, would it make sense for mzzxx11 to take the Metro B line all the way to the end at Rebibbia? And then cab it from there to the Novotel?

Strike that last comment. From the hotel's website it says:
"Easy access from Termini station on Metro Line B to Tiburtina, FR2 train to La Rustica UIR (times www.fsnews.it/cms-file/allegati/fsnews/FR2A1.pdf), the Novotel hotel is a 5-minute walk away."
Now the question is whether the above route would save time and avoid traffic versus taking a cab from Piazza Barberini?

Well you're bending my arms so no choice but to disclose: Stendhal luxury suites on via del Tritone/Barbeini. It got very good reviews on TA and seems to be located in a quiet spot.
